It's so weird to live in the Era of Trump. People who have been our enemies for decades are suddenly our allies. People like Rick Wilson, Ana Novarro, Joe Scarborough and Judge Napolitano among others.

Wilson has a particularly sketchy history, from a Democratic point of view. In 2000, he led the campaign to screw up the Florida recount of the Gore-Bush election.

Here's a Wikipedia quote about that event:

Once the closeness of the election in Florida was clear, both the Bush and Gore campaigns organized themselves for the ensuing legal process. On November 9, the Bush campaign announced they had hired George H. W. Bush's former Secretary of State James Baker and Republican political consultant Roger Stone to oversee their legal team...


Roger Stone!

Wilson also had a stint in NY politics with Giuliani. This is also from Wikipedia:

In 1994, Wilson joined a Florida media firm, where he created Pollie-award winning ads for Rudolph Giuliani during the 1997 New York City mayoral election. In 1999 Wilson moved to New York City where he initially worked at City Hall, and then later campaigned for Giuliani during the 2000 New York Senate election.


In any other normal time, these people would not be our friends. Thanks, Trump.

Trump says he doesn't drink, which means it's a lie. I think he drinks, & is a drug abuser. nt AnotherMother4Peace Nov 2019 #15
